Made the peppermint hot chocolate this afternoon. Tasty! I had some leftover coconut milk in the fridge, the perfect amount for the drink and for making your pumpkin pie. =)

Elana, you are an angel. I have been exhausted taking care of my son who’s sick with mono, not having much time to take care of myself. When the email with the hot drink recipes arrived they looked so appealing! I started my Saturday with the Dandelion root coffee and today with the soothing chai. Making these drinks just for me (I wish I could get my son to drink them…) has made me feel so much better. Thank you!!!!

Irina, I’m so glad you are enjoying my hot drink recipes :-)

Hello, I am not sure of the best way to ask questions, I figured here would be okay. Seeing as the holidays are around the corner, I’m revving up to do some holiday baking. I’ve found your gingerbread and shortbread recipes, but I’m wondering if you have any suggestions to rival those chocolate crinkle cookies, or various other types of Christmas cookies, with a special nod towards batter that takes well to cooki cutters? And of a similar vein.. my partner is doing his best to avoid sugar, but I still want to make him holiday treats with cookie cutters. I was wondering if the Multi “Grain” Crackers
might work, or some other method of making “savoury cookies” that would work with cookie cutters? Thanks!

Hi Motdepasse, here is a link to my favorite cut out cookies for you:

For something that is not quite as sweet, you might like my Paleo Graham Crackers:
